Category Archives: Designated Driver Drinks
Sophisticated alcohol-free drinks for the person doing the responsible thing. Because being the DD should not mean being stuck with a glass of water while everyone else is having a proper drink.This collection emphasises mocktails that feel adult, complex, and interesting: bitter aperitifs without the alcohol, savoury mocktails, grown-up flavors. When you hand a DD one of these, they do not feel like they are missing out, they feel like they are being looked after.
